Warriors guard Patrick McCaw is progressing in his recovery from a spinal injury he suffered in a scary fall March 31 against the Kings.

The Warriors released a statement Thursday saying McCaw had been re-evaluated earlier in the day, and is "making steady functional progress." He has been cleared to begin modified on-court running and shooting drills.

The 22-year-old guard will be evaluated again in four weeks, and while his season is over, seeing him make progress is great news. Just a couple of weeks ago, he'd told reporters he was having trouble sleeping because of his back pain.

McCaw, who averaged 4.0 points per game this season, was the Warriors second-round pick (No. 38 overall) out of UNLV in the 2016 draft.
